Vibration
I just had a rear differential leak fixed on my 2001 now when I put her in drive I'm getting a vibration. I'm taking her back to dealer on Tuesday does anyone have any advice?
Has this happened to anyone else? :confused:

I'm getting a vibration.
Can you feel it, or just hear it? Could be they did not line up the exhaust system very well. Good luck! :skep: :)

This is probably a good example of service that requires a post-driving test
before the car goes back to its owner. It sounds like they never did this.
Good luck! :cheers:

Re: Vibration (Dave68)
Where in the diff was the leak? If from one of the drive axles, they might not have installed it correctly causing the drive axle to vibrate. Quite common on some front wheel drive vehicles. In your case, the vibration would be more in the seat than with the steering wheel, indicting the vibration is in the rear.

Re: Vibration (EbonyFantasy)
I've had a vibration that is sometimes more noticeable than other times while stopped and in drive (probably worse in reverse). It feels just as you describe. I took the car to the dealer when it was under warrantee and they were saying, "what vibration?" I have since gone through several exhausts and had the tranny out twice (playing with torque converters), but the vibration is pretty much the same. I sure wish I could get rid of it. Let me know what was done if you get yours fixed.

I will definitely let you know what or if they do anything to correct the problem.
